In this episode of the Enterprise Now show, Elzie Flenard engages in a conversation with entrepreneur and founder Kimberly Spencer. Kimberly is a certified high performance coach, bestselling writer, health junkie, freedom-lover, & unsinkable optimist. The conversation unfolds into a discussion about Kimberly's entrepreneurial journey, beginning with her decision to drop out of college at 17 to pursue an acting career. Kimberly talks about her coaching business and emphasizes the significance of resilience in entrepreneurship and how self-mastery plays a crucial role in personal and professional development. They discuss the power of taking ownership of one's journey and the transformation that occurs through challenges.Overall, the conversation provides a rich tapestry of Kimberly's entrepreneurial journey, self-mastery principles, coaching philosophy, and the transformative power of podcasting.Highlights:14:36 - I came up with the idea, but I was doing all the things that I call productive procrastination. It was like doing the logo, like building a business plan. It looked really good, but I felt that there was no money flowing in from it and that whole process, and I had to take ownership of where I felt like my blame ended and where I would stop blaming my former business partner for my current circumstances and my lack of success. In my case, it was in my coaching business. 27:03 - When you've borrowed people's audiences enough, because you've guested on other people's podcasts, they've heard your message, they want to learn more, and you have your own podcast, then they're in an incubator of being able to consume your content, get to know you, understand your messaging, understand your values, and then discern based on long-form content if they want to buy rather than like short 15-second reels, where you're mouthing something that they may forget in a couple of days, like when you take the time to consume a podcast, three out of four people who listen to podcasts listen to learn something new.30:59 - This is where I get very on with podcasters. Do the guest a favor, release the episode, honor your commitment, and be impeccable with your word, because podcasting can be a really good thing. This is like the secret sauce, guys, like it can be a beautiful way to pick your brain, like where you get the concepts, the knowledge, the book recommendations, the strategies—and you're like, holy crap, I'm getting this for free. Yes, you're getting this because you are committing to share their message and their strategies with the world. What drives me up a wall is when podcasters do that and then they don't release the episodes because only 5 percent of podcasts do, releasing an episode every 90 days.Connect with Elzie LinkedInSupport the journeyLaunch OR re-launch your podcast Contact Kimberly SpencerWebsite LinkedIn

Exciting News! Enterprise NOW! is now Journey to Mastery!

Today we have another great episode lined up for you. My guest and I originally connected last year, when I was a guest on his podcast, Enterprise Now! He's an incredible human being, with so much to give. After enjoying my conversation with him on his podcast, we got to talking and I wanted to bring him on the show as well. My guest today is Elzie Flenard. He is located in Wisconsin, and brings over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience. He is the Founder of Podcast Town, which is a full-service white glove podcast agency dedicated to helping their partners grow their podcast show, their audience, and the podcast easier. He is also the host of Enterprise Now! Elzie is also a Speaker & Author. Don't pigeonhole Elzie D. Flenard III. Don't even try. Describe him this way, and he'll point out that one. Change your perspective, and he'll lead you down another path… maybe without you even realizing. He's a creative dude, an entrepreneur, a family man, a business owner. No “box” fits. It doesn't exist. He's a man of original thoughts, all products of unique thinking. Above all, Elzie is a storyteller. He unpacks topics from unexpected directions, weaving myriad influences into his music, speaking and podcasting. Society, business, current events – you can never predict his take. Suffice to say, it's probably different than you've encountered. Why do things happen? How do they drive behavior? Most importantly, what do YOU think? Elzie wants to know. Dialog and conversation are great teachers. Listening inspires Elzie. Yes, listening. Almost a forgotten skill, in an era of endless chatter and oversize bullhorns.

Dialog and conversation are great teachers. Listening inspires Elzie. Yes, listening. Almost a forgotten skill, in an era of endless chatter and oversize bullhorns.See, everyone has a voice. Everyone has something to say. Via the power of podcasting, Elzie partners with businesses to turn their “voice” into a powerful marketing tool. Podcasting creates, and cultivates, relationships with consumers. A story about how a business began, about its products or services, or even its missteps, resonates through a human voice. Via Enterprise NOW!, his podcasting company, Elzie helps businesses find their “voice.” A voice doesn't have to be loud – just real. His clients repurpose their podcast content for blogs, or social media posts, or books. The ball rolls, and rolls.Elzie's foray into Enterprise NOW! began not long after starting an Internet radio station. Its content tilted toward business, reflecting the founder's entrepreneurial bent. Even while working a decade in electrical engineering and electronics technology, Elzie had side gigs: a record label. A minor-league basketball team. A music production company.  He's always been a tinkerer, going back to a childhood knack for taking things apart and putting them back together. Or writing his first song at age 5, a passion that continues today with multiple albums, EPs and singles under his belt. The holder of an MBA, and a B.S. in electronics systems technologies, you can always expect originality from Elzie. Just don't try to label him. No shoe fits … and he wouldn't wear it anyhow.https://www.podcasttown.net/Next Steps Share your thoughts with a review - https://www.thedealscout.com/reviews/ Let's connect on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuabrucewilson/ Subscribe and Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQN_Y3nhDGClfMxCSBDjOg

In this new episode of the refocused, rebranded, new direction of Enterprise Now, Elzie is joined by Joe Cecala Founder & CEO at Dream Exchange. Joe was a lawyer who worked on many small capital transactions for more than fifteen years. In that time, he saw that small capital transactions, however good, always lack a clear exit. Answering the investor question “How do I sell my investment?” was a constant problem. This, and other problems in raising capital, were especially pronounced in the black community as his firm worked with the Chicago Urban League attempting to help the “Next One” entrepreneurship program. Listen to this episode as Elzie and Joe talk about the stock exchange, specifically for small businesses, and how businesses will benefit from it. Joe explains how to participate in the stock exchange, and shares resources to close the knowledge gap, as well as current hurdles of the stock exchange. Highlights: 03:13 - There's only 2 ways to actually sell shares of stock today. One is to take your shares and prepare all the documents needed, registration documents, send them to the government, to the Securities Exchange Commission. 07:55 - A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step so we`re taking the first step in the right direction regardless of what the history has been. 13:01 - If you give a man fish he has food for a day, if you teach a man to fish he has food for a lifetime. But if you build a man both or you help him finance both, now he can feed a city. 19:58 - Focus on your dream, focus on what you`re imagining and focus on how big it can be. 31:01 - Never quit. You can't just give up in anyway. Don't entertain the thought. Maybe it won't work. Those doubts and those reservations, just ignore all of them.

It has a ripple effect. 21:10 – Access to resources, access to education, together with cultural piece, are some of the big hurdles to success. 30:22 – Some important mindset for black entrepreneurs: be OK with being the king, be OK with being lonely sometimes, be OK with failure, and be OK with punching and being punched. 38:15 – Coaching is critical. It is a game changer. What we mention: https://www.enterprisenow.net/ (EnterpriseNow) https://www.podcasttown.net/ (PodcastTown) Connect with us: https://www.aalamilwaukee.org/ (AALAM)

Meet Elzie D. Flenard Elzie D. Flenard, III is the founder of Enterprise NOW!. Elzie is also the host of the Enterprise NOW! Podcast. Elzie has more than a decade of experience as an engineering professional and entrepreneur. He thrives on thinking outside the box, bringing the best out of entrepreneurs, and driving results. He provokes thought, challenges creativity and inspires persistence. He holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Carroll University and is an Accredited Small Business Consultant. What is a good way to communicate brand message? I think the best way to communicate anything really is the way that's authentic and genuine to who you are and your voice. What is the best way to get started in podcast? I think a lot of times people say just get started. I'm gonna advise against that. I'm gonna say do some homework first. I always advise people to get a coach. Get someone who knows the ropes, who's done it before to kind of help you save time and frustration. And really just focus on your why. Why do you want to do a podcast? Are you doing it because it's the big thing? And everybody else is doing it? Or is there a method to it? So know your purpose, get a coach, and then just do it, don't sit on it. How would an entrepreneur know if podcasting is a good fit for their business or their brand? Hone into your point of who your audience is and where do they hang out? If that's where your audience is, and that's where you want to reach them and audio is the method that you want to use, then podcasting is probably a good method for that. Can you share with our listeners your most successful or favorite networking story or experience that you've had? So I have a guy on my show once and I'm at a networking event and I'm in the room just mingling and introducing myself and I hear this voice from across the room. And then my ears perk up and I recognize that voice and so I poke my head up and I see the person from which this voice is coming from and I'm like, hey, so and so and he sees me, he hears me. He's like, hey, how are you? And we like meet in the middle of a room and there was like this, this reunion of people and yet we have never met before. So that just speaks to the power of podcasting and the ability to build those relationships. And it's really networking. How do you nurture or stay in front of the community that you're building? Continuing to network because a lot of times I think people will start strong and then they kind of temper off. Because in my mind, relationships are the whole game. So in terms of follow up that looks like paying attention, being present, actively listening and really embracing and being deliberate and intentional about building those relationships. So I think being authentic, intentional and just deliberate. What advice would you offer that business professional who's really looking to grow their network? I always say find the right pond. You just have to make sure you're fishing at the right pond. So find the pond and again, be authentic, be genuine, and do more of the things that work and stop doing the things that don't work. Digital networking or traditional networking, which one do you find more value in? I'm going to give the answer of both because, honestly, it is both. For example, this morning I met for coffee with a gentleman that I met on LinkedIn. So glad that that we were able to connect. I'm going to say both and I think you can't really have one without the other. But I tend to lean toward the face to face personal interaction. If you could go back to your 20 year old self, what would you tell yourself to do more of less of or differently with regards to your professional career? I would tell myself to focus on learning how the business operates, focus on it from the owners perspective. And I would tell myself to focus on the focus and to always pay attention to perspective and how that impacts my current world. So we've all heard of the six degrees of separation, who would be the one person that you'd love to connect with? And do you think you can do it within the six degree? The person will be Magic Johnson. I don't know if I can do it with the six degrees because I know he's a really busy guy. But I admire his story, where he came from and he turned his passion into his business and he's just an incredibly successful entrepreneur. I've watched him from being a player to some of the ways that he went and got mentors and learned business and then went out and, and adapted it to fit him. He was extremely self aware. He knew, hey, this works for these people. But this works for me. And he's been able to carve out a really good business for himself. So anything you want to share with our listeners that you're listening to you or find fascinating or that you're reading that's kind of helped you with some of your journey along the way. The main way that I'm getting business knowledge is through my podcast, interviewing these people. They are fantastically successful and they have these amazing stories. So I learned a lot from them. Right now I'm reading this book called Anti Hustle. The premise of it is, is that you want to work smarter and not harder and just really being intentional and focused on the focus. Do you have any final words or advice for our listeners with regards to growing and supporting your network? I would say focus on the focus. And I know I keep saying this, but be authentic. Being genuine and really caring about your relationships and nurturing those relationships. I think that is going to take you a long way. So there's no shortcut.
